Bollywood Pays Tribute to Boxing Champion Mary Kom

It was a mix of vast experience and technical approach that Mary used to massacre Ukraine's Hanna Okhota in the light flyweight (48kg) class with a unanimous decision to become the first woman pugilist to clinch six world titles.

Mary Kom won a historic 6th gold at the Boxing World Championships to become the most decorated women's boxer at the competition.

Overwhelmed, Mary Kom broke down after coming out of the ring as she went around to greet the packed crowd and the assembled officials. "They have been supporting me for last many years".

However, the Indian champion came back strongly and displayed her best effort of the day, a powerful hook in the second that shattered Okhota's gameplan to lower her guard and lure the Indian to attack. "I am a little bit emotional".

For most part of the bout, Mary showed why she has survived in the sport. Her first four gold medals in her 17-year global career had come in pinweight category.
